Good morning

Today's the 1st April which means it's time for a brand new challenge over at Ready Teddy Go and this month the theme is:

Anything Goes

It's a nice easy one for this month.  You can enter a card, an ATC or any other paper-crafting project as long as it features a bear or teddy and follows the theme for the month.

I've used Teddy Flower by LOTV which I've coloured using Copic pens.

Easter Bunny

The image is called "Are you the Easter Bunnie" from Di's Digi Downloads.  I just love the bunny and the chicks - so cute.  Copic pens were used to colour the image.

Mid Way Reminder at Ready Teddy Go - Love is in the Air

Hi there

Firstly let me apologise for my lack of posting/commenting over recent weeks.  I thought I had been lucky and managed to avoid all the bugs and viruses that had been going around this winter, but the flu bug finally caught up with me, and knocked me for six.  I am finally feeling better and getting back to some regular crafting/blogging.   

Anyway enough of my waffling, I'm here to remind you that you still have time to enter this month's challenge over at Ready Teddy Go.

The theme this month is 'Love is in the Air' and we have a great sponsor MeiFlower who are offering one lucky winner a fantastic prize, so well worth having a go. 

My card features 'Teddy with Balloon' by LOTV which I've coloured with Copic pens.  The background paper is from Forever Friends. 

Image : Special Delivery (LOTV)

Papers : With Love (Forever Friends) and Bazzil Cardstock

Embellishments : Flowers (Wild Orchid Crafts), Ribbon (craft stash) and

Rhinestones (craft stash)

Dies : Classic Rectangle & Classic Scalloped Rectange (Spellbinder)

Classic Petal Edgeabilities (Spellbinder) and Sofia Heart (Memory Box)

 

Please pop over to the challenge blog to find more inspiration from the design team. 

 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Inky Chicks : Valentine/Anniversary Creation
Papertake Weekly : Heart & Flowers
Pretty Little Ribbons : Anything Goes

 

Well that's it from me for now, have a great day. 

Surprise Parcel

Good evening

Hope you are having a good week so far.  At least we are more than half way through - only two days until the weekend J. 

Today I have a Christmas card to share with you.  My husband went into shock when I told him I had made a Christmas card - especially as it's only June!!  Unfortunately, not for lack of trying, I never seem to be organised for Christmas.  Every year I have good intentions but find myself  finishing cards on the last posting date.  But this year will be different - or that's the plan.

Anyway enough waffling here's the card.

The image is from Forever Friends (sorry, I don't know what it's called - it came as part of a set) and has been coloured with Copics. To replicate the fur on his hat I used glitter and glossy accents on the bobble to give it some dimension.

I have matted the image using Spellbinder Nestibilities (Circle and Lacey Circles).   The papers are from K and Company.

A Holly Vine die by Memory Box has been used to create the holly border and small red pearls have been added to replicate the berries.
